They fight over the stupidest things, and the less page time their ramblings took up, the happier I was. She has one close friend, but her relationship with Claire is rather toxic, in my opinion. She feels different from her peers, as if she has never really belonged even though she has lived on the island of Nantucket for her entire existence. She is beautiful, but for whatever reason she is unable to recognize the effect she has on the opposite sex (slightly reminiscent of Bella). Helen Hamilton is our heroine, and she is rather prickly. However,I knew I was in trouble when I failed to be enchanted within the first few chapters. Starcrossed is a mash-up of familiar stories and contemporary series including: Romeo and Juliet, Twilight, and the Percy Jackson series. Josephine Angelini’s debut YA paranormal romance has all the elements I lust after in a YA book: mythological undertones, forbidden love, family secrets, betrayal, and a dark curse. Starcrossed held such promise for me when I first heard about it, months before it was scheduled for release.
